Appendix A A.7.2 Corrective Steps. The FAA monitors the implementation of the corrective steps. The FAA assesses the operator's corrective efforts through the implementation period. If, during this period, the FAA determines that the steps taken by the operator are not those documented in the comprehensive fix, and acceptable corrective action by the operator is not forthcoming, the matter is referred to the Office of the Chief Counsel for legal enforcement action evaluation.
A.7.3 Self-Audit Completed by the Operator. The operator must complete at least one satisfactory self-audit after implementation of the corrective action in accordance with their corrective action plan submitted in their written report. This report must be uploaded into the web-based VDRP system.
A.8 Stage 6: FAA Review of Completed Actions of the Corrective Action Plan. At the conclusion of the implementation period, the PHI will make the final assessment.
Consultation with regional specialists, enforcement counsel, or other FAA personnel may be deemed appropriate by the PHI or AXH.
A.8.1 Stage 6 Completion. If all elements of the comprehensive fix have been satisfactorily accomplished, including the operator's self-audit and FAA verification that all requirements have been completed, then the PHI will submit the required entries in the web-based system for Stage 6 completion.
A.8.2 Stage 6 Submission. Upon Stage 6 submission by the PHI, the VDRP system will notify AXH via email that the file is awaiting headquarters review. AXH will then log into the VDRP system, review the VDRP file, and assess the adequacy of the comprehensive fix and its implementation. AXH must decide whether to concur with the PHI's determination that the comprehensive fix was satisfactorily accomplished.
A.8.3 AXH Concurrence. AXH concurrence with the PHI's determination is recorded when the "Submit" button is selected. This closes the submission and concludes Stage 6.
Upon closure, an email is sent to the appropriate parties advising them that the submission is closed.
A.8.4 AXH Non-concurrence. If AXH does not concur with the PHI's determination, AXH will select the "Return" button to refer the case back to the PHI, along with comments, for reconsideration. The case will not advance out of Stage 6 until it is re-submitted by the PHI, and AXH submits their concurrence.
